Tax Law

Tax Law

Tax law is a very dynamic area of law in Greece that is constantly and rapidly changing as a result of the implementation of new laws and regulation.

  • Advising in relation to complex financial instruments and novel banking products
  • Tax law advice on ongoing basis to clients doing business in Greece

Greek tax registration number and Tax representative

Several everyday transactions in Greece require that a person, either natural or legal entity, possess a Greek tax registration number (or “AFM” in Greek), notwithstanding that such person is not a Greek tax resident.

Our firm assists in applying for a Greek tax registration number, as well as for online access codes for the electronic services of the Greek tax authorities.

For non- Greek tax residents, the application for a tax registration number is effected before a special tax authority and requires the appointment of a Greek tax resident as a representative in Greece for communication purposes with the tax authorities. Our team is often appointed as tax representative of clients, either Greeks living abroad, or foreigners requiring a Greek tax registration number, thus enabling our firm to be informed and represent them before the Greek tax authorities, for any pending, ongoing or future tax matter.
